I'm watching the second power rangers movie, and man, it's not very good. It does radiate with Cannon Film/Golan Brothers energy though.

Krasinski would be a great reed richards as well, but im really not gonna hold my breathe for anything regarding x-men or fantastic four right now. The fact they subverted expectations for spidey and still made it unique, of the character, and good, is still amazing to me. I watched the two movies back to back a couple days ago for the first time and im still blown away.

If you're really worried about an actors politics, why arent you going after Pratt as well? He is a little chuddy as well and doesn't hide it, though much quieter than Gina Carano.

I'm moving my movie reviews over here since this thread is more respectable and I am trying to break into the big time Used Cars 1980 A Dudes Rock Film.  https://i.imgur.com/vEsLmg4.mp4 Directed by Robert Zemeckis, Used Cars stars Kurt Russell as Rudy Russo, a likeable shifty used car salesman who possesses that uniquely American devious low cunning you see in all of our iconic con men, junkies and politicians. Russo's number one ambition is to scrape together enough dough to pay off the local party machine so he can become a state level politician and "tell people what they want to hear" and get in on "the graft" https://i.imgur.com/8eg4uci.mp4 The dealership, called NEW DEAL, where Russo works is owned by a kind hearted aloof codger Luke Fuchs whose big worry is that the new highway they are putting in will force him to sell the lot. Across the street, Luke's brother Roy runs a competing dealership, extra slick, gaudy in that tacky local notable kind of way. Roy finds out that the highway is, in fact, going to go through his lot and so he is desperate to inherit his brother's lot and life insurance money so he can stay afloat. https://i.imgur.com/xDRWD7J.mp4 To that end, Roy hires a local demolition derby driver to drive Luke to death by aggravating his heart condition, https://i.imgur.com/aLdDCv5.mp4 which he does. Luke stumbles into the office and collapses. https://i.imgur.com/YUOl2Sx.mp4 Rudy discovers that Luke is dying and seeing his prospects for his entry into dirty politics fading, he colludes with his buddies Jeff and Jim to hide the body and concocts a weekend at bernie's style scheme (minus the body puppetry) to prevent Roy from collecting on the lot until Rudy can net his 10 thousand bucks. Will Rudy be able to keep up the charade until he earns enough to become a bastard? Watch to find out!

Zardoz 1974 Zardoz is about owning the libs. Spoilers will follow. This film has a reputation for being a "lol look at this weird movie" kind of film but that is only because of imaginative superficial things which are actually explained incredibly well in the narrative. Ponytail Sean Connery, in his famous outfit, is a Brutal Exterminator riding horseback through the wastes culling the human population on behalf of his god, Zardoz, which is a giant stone head which pukes guns and makes derisive comments about procreation Zed stows away on Zardoz one day because, as we later learn, the Exterminators have become suspicious of their god after he orders them to farm instead of just ranging around killing people Inside the giant head, Zed discovers a man and kills him, that man, we later learn is a part of a community which is isolated from the harsh conditions of the wastelands, in domes of pristine beauty, where they live lives of ease and luxury. This man that Zed kills was tasked with constructing a social scheme to control the human population of the outlands and had a flair for the dramatic so he invented this garish religion angle to gussy up the task of administering a slow moving genocide the bubble communities, Vortexes, we come to find, were created by the liberal elite as the apocalypse unfolded, they entrusted the maintenance of the basic aspects of society to an AI called the tabernacle which also used a genetic/conciousness uploading scheme to make everyone functionally immortal (that is why they are called Eternals) and gave themselves over to the pursuit of the great questions of the universe while conditions outside the vortexes deteriorated. here is a brief history https://i.imgur.com/pwtDduc.mp4 and continuing https://i.imgur.com/tAL2aPm.mp4 the concept above, that the Eternals tried and failed to answer the great questions of the universe, is critical to the film and very poignant, that there is an epistemological horizon which can never be approached, questions which can never be answered. The whole entire Vortex project, the creation of the Eternals, was a faulty premise which has created an absolutely insane society which is every caricature of a bourgeois hippy commune/polycule you can imagine smashed together with the smarmy veneer of bourgeois academia slathered all over it. A sizeable portion of the population is seething with resentment and craves death. Many have become "apathetic" a sort of dissociative catatonic hebephrenic state and that is why they had to grow bread in the outlands in the first place. a decadent society shot through with social pathologies https://i.imgur.com/mCdqpSP.mp4 We later come to find that Zed was genetically engineered from the inside in order to bring down the vortex system by the man behind Zardoz himself, kwisatz haderach style This exchange near the end earns deep respect from me as it plants the film securely on a dialectical materialist footing https://i.imgur.com/DwrNlAm.mp4 also this film has the sickest burn on lib NIMBY attitude right here "I always voted against forced farming" "You eat the bread" https://i.imgur.com/Gdhxwlv.mp4 loving sick!

Rollerball[ (1975) A whole lot of movies do the corporate state dystopia thing but Rollerball is distinct in that it showcases the impact of the corporate state on the people at the very top. The main character is a dedicated Rollerballer, Jonathan E, and he just wants to rollerball because he is the Tom Brady of Rollerball he gets asked to leave the game because his popularity and prowess are perceived as a threat by the corporate directorate. this sets off a chain of events where the directorate attempts to make the rules of the game more and more barbaric and offer Jonathan greater and greater luxuries to abandon his career in order to squeeze him out. The liaison for the corporate system in the film, Mr Bartholomew, https://i.imgur.com/9jb2dzD.mp4 straightforwardly describes why jonathan is rocking the boat, describing the game as a purposeful meat grinder, something no one was supposed to be good at, that just chewed people up like nothing for the sheer spectacle of it. Jonathan E begins to wonder how the world got to this sorry state in the first place and goes on a quest for information and discovers that the consolidation of data centers has allowed information to be tightly controlled by the corporate state. https://i.imgur.com/E1GTYTt.mp4 So what does he do? He loving rollerballs, that's what. https://i.imgur.com/YBGhMvk.mp4 The film also depicts the psychotic decadence of the ruling class in a way that tracks very smartly with our lived experience with people of wealth https://i.imgur.com/EakxWA0.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/HKViEdn.mp4 and it understands that nothing matters https://i.imgur.com/X34porS.mp4 Learn more about Rollerball at your local library

I posted that once in here I think lmao, the first election she was eligible to vote would have been 2008 when he was up for reelection in her home state so it's very possible Tiberius Christ posted:I thought all the chud poo poo about Chris Pratt was from his church and not anything he's said one time he tweeted "man they just don't make movies about how hard it is to be a white guy these days" and then got dunked on a million times and so he was like "wow my bad I guess I was wrong" so I'm not sure he's actually right-wing, I think he's just not very bright also apropos of nothing I remembered how in the comics the fantastic four originally got their powers from not following safety standards in their rush to beat the soviets to space lol

Curious if anyone has links to decent political readings on anything related to Star Trek? From what I've seen the franchise as a whole seems pretty neolib IMO, but it's pretty novel to watch something like TNG with such sincere optimism in TYOOL 2021 I've been making my way through the films, too. If horny wasn't prohibited, I'd talk more about how much Ricardo Montalban owns but alas
